About the Company

Join a specialist data and analytics consultancy working with major financial services organisations. You'll be part of a high-performing, agile squad that owns delivery end-to-end. The environment is innovative, outcome-focused, and ideal for individuals who enjoy solving commercially impactful problems with autonomy.


The Opportunity

This is a hands-on Lead Data Scientist role where you'll take ownership of an existing project focused on predicting customer engagement from marketing images. Your goal: build and deploy a model that forecasts click-through rates and explains why certain images drive better performance.


What You'll Be Doing

✅ Build and refine a predictive model using image data & historical engagement metrics
✅ Identify which image characteristics (colour, objects, themes) influence customer behaviour
✅ Implement explainability (e.g. SHAP, feature importance)
✅ Build a simple internal UI (Dash, Streamlit, or Flask) for stakeholders to explore insights
✅ Present findings and guide technical decision-making internally
✅ Enable deployment teams to operationalise your solution


What Success Looks Like

By the end of the initial engagement you will have delivered:
- A working predictive model
- Clear explainability on what drives user clicks
- A functional internal tool for non-technical stakeholders
- Documentation and guidance for productionisation


Required Skills

Must-Have:

  • Expert-level Python (Pandas, modelling libraries such as Scikit-learn)

  • SQL

  • AWS cloud experience

  • Proven end-to-end ownership of data science solutions

  • Model explainability (SHAP, LIME, feature importance)

  • Ability to build simple dashboards or web apps (Streamlit, Dash, or Flask)

Nice-to-Have:

  • Experience working with image data

  • Exposure to marketing analytics or customer behaviour modelling
